==Use In Specific Populations==
 
===Pregnancy===
 
'''Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B'''
 
Reproduction studies have been performed in mice, rabbits and rats at oral dipyridamole doses of up to 125 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, respectively (about 1 ½, 2 and 25 times the maximum recommended daily human oral dose, respectively, on a mg/m2 basis) and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to dipyridamole. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, PERSANTINE tablets should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
 
===Nursing Mothers===
 
As dipyridamole is excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when PERSANTINE tablets are administered to a nursing woman.
 
===Pediatric Use===
 
Safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population below the age of 12 years have not been established.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = PERSANTINE (DIPYRIDAMOLE) TABLET, COATED [BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=ca68879c-0214-4d7c-93b0-bdaf8ef23f8e | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 7 February 2014 }}</ref>
